    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is sad and unfortunate that marginalized people become more marginalized with their own resources. Today, we should not be talking of Turkana receiving Kshs120 billion for 10 years after giving out petrol for eight years yet they are currently dying of hunger. We need to ensure that people own their resources. The major and crucial resource that everyone should have is land. The Government should make a point to give people their own land so that when big projects come, they are able to lease their land instead of doing compulsory acquisition; considering they do not have titles nor the entitlement to those central resources. We urge the Government to ensure that they give people their resources so that they own them Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we need to learn to substitute our food. We should not depend on maize 100 per cent. There are many other crops which can be grown and can feed us. There is cassava, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams and many other crops. We should look at the areas, their seasons and be able to put crops where they can grow faster and easily in order for the country to feed its people. It is sad and unfortunate for a country like Kenya, 60 years after Independence that we cannot feed our people. It is shameful. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
